Arber Xhekaj says out loud what everyone thinks quietly in the Canadiens' locker room

Arber Xhekaj not only knows how to use his shoulders and fists, but he's also a very skilled hockey player and is becoming a true leader within the Montreal Canadiens.

His statements speak for themselves, and we once again witnessed this. Just a few minutes ago, in an interview before the game against the Lightning, here's what number 72 had to say:

Arber Xhekaj about the game against the Lightning tonight: "It's a big test for us, but with the way we played in the last game, we really need to come out strong and fly in the first period!"

We know that the last game against the Blues wasn't the players' best effort, and they were upset with themselves after the match.

It's now time to prove that they can turn words into actions. Xhekaj said out loud what the players say in the locker room. There's character and leadership in that room, so expect quite a show right from the first minute.
